Congradulations, Mr. Howard ! I first drew Howard in 1982 in a West Coast Bass Draw Tourney at Don Pedro as a non boater. He had been tournament fishing way before I drew out with him, and is still at it on various circuits and events with good success Thats true passion for the sport, after all the years the miles traveled, money spent not to mention tough weather extremes and rough boat rides endured, he has no quit in him, plus he is a nice guy. Enjoy the win Howard you truly deserve it .
the best way to catch a big one is don't lose um sharp hooks set drag retie!

I don't usually comment on tournaments or participants - but I will this time. I have always enjoyed the few conversations I have previously had with you at shows, etc. You are a great representative of our sport! So here is my comment - CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congatulations Howard !
A little remembered fact about Howard, is I think he is the only angler to win 2 boats in the same tournament.

I too met Howard early in the 90's. I was lucky enough to travel/ pre fish with him also. Howard is as versital as they come. Howard's one of the nicest and most approachable anglers on the circut.

Thanks Howard for the lessons!
